Online health information seeking can be related to various factors. Past studies have shown that two factors of uncertainty and cyberchondria can play a role in this regard. In this regard, the present research was designed to investigate online health information seeking with uncertainty and other criteria using a descriptive survey method. It was carried out in the research community of Ahvaz health network clients. The data collection tool was three questionnaires, and the findings were analyzed using SPSS statistical software. The findings showed that in the sample of 260 people under investigation, the mean of online health information seeking in the group of women was higher than that of men, but no significant difference was reported. In examining the average uncertainty and cyberchondria in gender groups, uncertainty was reported higher in women than men (significant difference). However, cyberchondria was not significantly different in the groups of men and women. No significant difference was observed regarding the educational level. Among the research variables, the uncertainty and doubt in facing the information have increased online health information seeking among the visitors to the health centers of Ahvaz City. According to the current research results, planning and training in health information search and making valid health information accessible in various information platforms by the policymakers and managers of the country's health system is necessary and inevitable.

AbstractThe current research has been done with the aim of presenting a model of knowledge management in universities. In terms of methodology, this research is of the type of applied studies, and in terms of method, it is among the qualitative and meta-composite researches. For this purpose, it was used through searching in the internal and external scientific databases of the Iran Scientific Information and Documents Center (IranDac), Jihad Academic Database, Islamic World Citation Database, Web of Science, ProQuest, Scopus, Google Scholar and Science Direct. 786 articles were extracted according to the defined search strategy, and at the end of the review process, 41 sources were selected for final analysis. The content validity of these documents was verified by the Critical Assessment Tool (CASP) method. In the analysis stage of the selected documents, the sub-components and open codes of these documents were extracted by the qualitative content analysis method and then categorized and combined under the main components and dimensions of the research. In order to validate the findings, the method of comparing the opinion of researchers with an expert was used, and the Kappa agreement coefficient was 0.783. The results showed that according to the nature of the university, four main categories can be considered for the model of knowledge management in universities. Knowledge vision plan, knowledge flow, knowledge transformation and knowledge evaluation. Also, the results showed that the four factors of culture, technology, environment and stakeholders play an important role in the success of the knowledge management model based on the context of knowledge management in the university. In a general summary, it can be said that knowledge management in universities is not limited to a specific time and program, and with the end of the four stages of this model, knowledge management will enter the stage of a new knowledge plan.

Background and Aim: The term “information behavior,” with an emphasis on health and hygiene, refers to purposeful actions taken to satisfy informational needs related to health. The objective of the current research is to develop and validate a questionnaire on information behavior, with a focus on health and hygiene information. Materials and Methods: This study was a quantitative research conducted with a tool design approach. Initially, a questionnaire for measuring this behavior was prepared using instrument design methods. The basis for extracting the factors of the present questionnaire has been argumentation and logical repetition. In other words, the researcher, in line with the background of these factors and their repetition in the sources, used them as influential factors in the questionnaire construction. After confirming the content and structural validity, the modified questionnaire was distributed among 238 patients with multiple sclerosis. The sample selection. was done using the available sampling method. Then, the data were analyzed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The internal consistency of the data was calculated using Cronbach’s alpha. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods with the help of SPSS and AMOS software. Results: The content validity of the questionnaire was evaluated with the opinion of 20 experts in information behavior. The reliability of the health information behavior questionnaire was adequate and satisfactory with the overall Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.78 and the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the components between 0.71 and 0.94. In order to factor analysis, the sampling adequacy index and the value of Bartlett’s Crowley test were calculated, and all 29 items were statistically significant; which confirms the factorization of the correlation matrix. In the exploratory factor analysis, five factors (avoidance of information), the second factor (need for information), the third factor (exposure to information), the fourth factor (seeking information), and the fifth factor (use of information) were obtained. The indicators of confirmatory factor analysis showed the validity of the proposed structure. The results of the structural equation model test showed that the fit indices were favorable and also indicated the fit of the presented model in the MS patient population. Conclusion: The obtained results demonstrated that health information behavior in this questionnaire encompasses five factors: information needs, information-seeking behavior, information avoidance, information use, and information confrontation, which were confirmed. The designed scale for assessing health information behavior in the Iranian community has been evaluated and is recommended for use in measuring health information behavior effectively.

One of the important factors that play a fundamental role in people’s information behavior is psychological factors. The aim of the current research is to identify the psychological factors that impact users’ health information-seeking behavior through a systematic review. Innovation in this work emphasizes the use of a systematic approach to identify psychological factors that influence individuals’ information behavior. By employing a systematic method, this research can have high scientific value and provides greater confidence in identifying and describing psychological factors related to information behavior. The research method of this study was carried out using a systematic review method. After searching in WoS, PubMed, and Scopus databases, 4162 articles were reviewed, after removing repetition and applying article selection criteria, 31 articles were selected for analysis. In this article, a systematic review of the Prisma flowchart tool has been utilized. The Prisma flowchart is a valuable instrument for ensuring methodological transparency and facilitating the reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analyses. It provides a structured framework for outlining the various stages of the review process, including study identification, screening, eligibility assessment, data extraction, and synthesis. By employing the Prisma flowchart, researchers can enhance the rigor and reproducibility of their systematic reviews, thereby promoting evidence-based decision making in various fields of study. The findings reveal that out of 31 articles, 28 were surveys, and 3 were descriptive studies. Furthermore, one article employed an intervention methodology, targeting community members, pregnant women, or patients as the statistical population. The research findings highlight anxiety, uncertainty, and avoidance of information as the most commonly identified psychological variables influencing Health information-seeking behavior. Psychological factors play an important role in the health information behavior of information users in different societies; however, in the published articles in the field of health information behavior, more attention has been paid to information carriers and less attention has been paid to the psychological characteristics of people, which originate from the human psyche and mind. The importance of dealing with non-communicable diseases has been emphasized in the “Research and Technology Policies and Priorities” documents. These documents highlight disease management, self-care, and the role of education and information in disease control and reducing the burden of non-communicable diseases. Therefore, it is essential that planners and policymakers can take important steps by focusing on these factors in order to improve the quality of information acquisition. Also, this work provides the possibility for researchers to study the information in future research with more knowledge by knowing the existing gaps in the field of psychologically effective factors on information behavior

Objectives: Today, there is a huge volume and complexity of knowledge produced by the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology, and the problems and existing problems and limitations in providing resources and providing the necessary infrastructure, especially for engineering research in industries and organizations. Applying optimal knowledge is important for exploiting research results and achievements within the context of knowledge translation. So that investment in engineering and industry groups is not wasted, and these studies will be directed to commercialization. Accordingly, the present study aimed to determine the knowledge translation status of faculty members of engineering departments at the Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz.Methods: The present study is applied in terms of purpose and has been developed as a survey with a descriptive approach. The research population consisted of faculty members of the Faculty of Engineering at the Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz.Results: The results showed that the performance of faculty members of engineering departments in the field of “research question” with a mean and standard deviation of 19.39 ± 5.11, for “knowledge production” with a mean and standard deviation of 24.98 ± 5.96, in the field of “knowledge transfer” with a mean and standard deviation of 39.52 ± 10.34, and a mean and standard deviation of 12.04 ± 4.50 for “promoting the use of evidence”, all of which are deemed to be at the desired levels. In the final assessment, the researchers' performance status in the entire process of knowledge translation was reported with a mean and standard deviation of 95.94 ± 23.25 was considered to be at the desired level as well.Conclusions: First, the Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz must devise an appropriate structure such as a knowledge translation committee and provide the grounds for the participation of knowledge brokers in order to improve the state of knowledge translation to a very desirable level. Furthermore, the university must adapt the research organization to the extant needs by following the focused activities of the industry and community relations group.Accordingly, another remarkable factor in attaining the above end is the provision of costs and financial support for research in line with the aims of knowledge translation. In addition, the research grants for applied and operational projects can be increased, and some of the promotion and employment regulations can be directed towards knowledge translation to encourage researchers and motivate their decisions with the assistance of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Technology and the Vice Chancellor for Education.

With the increase of scientific productions and in parallel with the development of scientometric units of medical universities, the experts of these units are more than ever faced with the process of indexing articles, validating journals, and identifying invalid journals. In this regard, sometimes in dealing with special cases and exceptions in the article approval process to promote faculty members and disrupt the process of completing commitments and terminating research projects, researchers are dissatisfied. In many cases, the cause of these dissatisfactions is the lack of knowledge about the new mechanism and rules of the indexes, journals, and regulations of the ministry and universities. The aim of this study was to inform the audience about some of the challenges faced by the experts of scientometric units in the workplace.

Background and aim: Meaning theories have been used in many sciences, including philosophy, computer science, library and information sciences psychology and linguistics due to their specific nature and the way they look at the content and meaning of the message. The aim of this study was to review the published documents, draw and analyze the structure of the scientific map of the outputs of sense-making and semantic theories through lexical coherence analysis in the Scopus database. Materials and methods: This descriptive and applied study was conducted to investigate and evaluate the international scientific products related to sense-making and semantic theories based on a scientometric approach. The statistical population of this study was all articles published and related to this field. Findings: Based on the data obtained from the Scopus database, a scientific map of this field was drawn, and it was found that the scientific structure of meaning theories consisted of four main thematic clusters. Moreover, “meaning, management, interview and student” were the main words in this field. In this area, the publication of scientific outputs had a growing trend so that the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia had the most scientific output. The Universities of Sussex and Oxford in the United Kingdom had the highest output in this area. Conclusion: This study not only expressed the important lexical relationships of top individuals and organizations as well as the growth and type of outputs in this field but also indicated the most widely used and most referenced thematic areas of meaning theories. In addition, there was no correlation between different fields of science in the application of meaning theory and meaning in general, and gaps were observed in the scientific structure of this field.

Objective: Concerning the importance of the role of libraries in crisis, this study seeks to study the status of public libraries in confronting dust crisis. Methodology: This study is an applied descriptive survey. The statistical population includes all librarians of public libraries of provinces exposed to duct crisis (Kurdistan, Kermanshah, Ilam, and Khuzestan) which includes 378 individuals. Using simple random cluster sampling method and Cochran formula, 190 have been selected as the sample. A researcher-made questionnaire with 46 close-ended questions (5-point Likert scale) has been used for data collection. The theoretical framework of the study is structured through studying research backgrounds, related literature and basic documentary studies. The questionnaire intends to evaluate the status of libraries in three stages: pre-crisis, pre-crisis and post-crisis. Data were analyzed using SPSS 24 software. Findings: The results of single-sample t-test showed that the readiness status of the studied libraries was poor in terms of educational, cultural, informational, and executive dimensions in the face of duct crisis. These libraries are also at a critical status during the crisis (information and administrative). In addition, the findings of the present study showed that the status of public libraries in post-crisis stage is poor in terms of documentation and implementation aspects. Conclusion: Overall, the results of this study showed that public libraries have no planning in dealing with dust phenomenon. Moreover, no provision has been made for librarians in these libraries for the three stages of pre-crisis, pre-crisis and post-crisis. However, libraries as a social and cultural institution can play an important role in this regard. For example, some of the measures that the libraries could take during dust crisis is to train users in dealing with dust crisis phenomenon, consider some plans to provide services during dust crisis, provide essential resources on dust crisis, communicating with institutions related to dust crisis, and provide the required information resources as they might require and documentation of the obtained experiences and presenting them when required. It should be noted that libraries, like all other public institutions, must be able to deal with all kinds of unexpected events and be prepared to deal with such events as far as this type of events require rapid decision-making and urgent action. Therefore, it seems necessary for public library administrators to pay more attention to the importance of the social activities of libraries and define guidelines for libraries in accordance with social, cultural and economic conditions to introduce the new role of libraries as information centers to the society and make libraries popular in the society.

Introduction: Cohesion indicator is one of the scientific mapping tools which uses the most important words in documents to study the conceptual structure of a research area. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the structure of the scientific map of autism outputs through lexical co-occurrence analysis in the Clarivate Analytics Web of Science Database. Methods: This study was conducted using scientometric method. The research population consisted of 14186 autism-related records published between the years 2010 and 2017 at the Clarivate Analytics Web of Science Database. The data were analyzed using social network analysis method. Results: The words “ability, malformations, syndrome, disorder, phenotype, and neurons” were the main vocabulary in the domain of autism spectrum disorder. These words also received the highest score in terms of centrality factors. Furthermore, in terms of macro-indicators, the domain of autism was coherent. In this area, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada had produced more records compared to other countries. The universities of California, London, and Harvard had also been the most productive universities in the international arena. Among Iranian universities, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Islamic Azad University, and Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences had more publications compared to other universities. Among the top researchers in terms of number of international productions "Zwaigenbaum L.", "Matson JL." and "Gillberg C." and among Iranian researchers "Memari A", "Mashayedi P", and "Ahmadloo M" had the best works. Conclusion: The information extracted from lexical co-occurrence map can help to improve policy-making in scientific fields. In this map, each word or group of words represents a particular area. Therefore, these maps can be used to make efficient decisions regarding resource allocation and distribution. Furthermore, these maps can help researchers get acquainted with new topics and top researchers in each field.

This study involves an investigation of the relationship between organizational culture and knowledge management in the libraries of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. This is an applied research following simultaneous mixed method. In the qualitative part of this study, the researchers employed Jierdzhi’s phenomenological approach. Semi-structured exploratory interviews were used to collect qualitative information, being conducted face-to-face. The statistical sample of this section was made on the basis of purposive sampling being continued until theoretical saturation. Interviews were made with 15 managers and employees of Shahid Chamran University Library in Ahvaz. Note taking and recording were also used to record information based on the research protocol designed by the researchers. To conform the validity of the tools, a three-way method of data collection was used. Internal validity has been tested by purposeful sample selection based on rich data descriptions or information richness and lengthening the interview process for in-depth understanding of the subject. The reliability, validity and acceptability of the data were tested to confirm data preciseness. The qualitative data were analyzed by inductive method. The quantitative part of this research is descriptive-correlation. The statistical population includes all managers and staff of the libraries of Shahid Chamran University of Ahwaz containing 47 individuals who were selected as statistical sample due to the limited number. The data were collected through two standard organizational culture questionnaire (Cameron & Quinn, 1996) and knowledge management questionnaire (Lawson, 2003). The face validity and content validity of the questionnaires were confirmed by 5 professors having more Regarding the normality of the data, Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to test the significance of the relationships, and the data were analyzed using SPSS 24 software. The results showed that the culture dominating the libraries is hierarchical. There is no meaningful relationship between this type of culture and knowledge management; however, there is a significant relationship between tribal or group culture, market culture and status-based culture with knowledge management. Also, the results of correlation analysis showed that group organizational culture has the highest correlation with knowledge management. It is suggested that the necessary framework for changing the hierarchical culture of the libraries under study into group culture be created so that knowledge management in these libraries can be more successfully implemented.

Purpose: This study intends to explore the personal knowledge management (PKM) skills and capabilities of staff of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz (PKM) based on Avery et al model (2001) in order to provide strategies for improving individual and organizational knowledge management performance in this university. Method: The present study is descriptive-analytical survey and qualitative and semi-structured interview methods have been used through interpretational data analysis. The research instrument was predesigned questionnaire based on Avery et al model. The statistical population includes 404 staffs of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz who are not faculty member and having Bachelor and Master of Arts and PhD degrees working in 7 different areas at university in 2017-2018. Based on Krejcie- Morgan Table, the sample size was determined as 196 subjects who were selected through random stratified sampling method in respect to each working area and 155 out of 196 questionnaires were returned back. Findings: Quantitative data analysis showed that mean PKM is 3.64 which is evaluated as desired concerning Likert scale scoring; however, the results of interview indicated that staffs are confused in data analysis, data and knowledge sharing and dissemination and are not well able to express such concepts.

Purpose: This research has been carried out with the aim of comparatively studying Iranmark format and Unimark handbook for serials and making some suggestions for resolving the existing deficiencies in worksheet of national document organization and national library of Iran, in Rasa software. Methodology: This research has used library study. Samples to be studied included fields, markers, and the subsidiary fields of Unimark and Iranmark, whose classification and types were extracted from Unimark handbook. Also, 14 specific fields for serials were extracted from Unimark 2000 handbook as well as the updates 4 and 5 in this handbook, and translated. Afterward, the suggested format was prepared considering the specific fields identified by the researcher, mandatory fields of Unimark for all library resources, and general fields, in concordance with Rasa worksheet to assure that the desired fields have been applied to organization’s worksheet. This worksheet consisted of 102 fields. Findings: The study findings revealed that the five fields including fields 400 (series), 411(subsidiary series), 225 (series), 104 (paper identifier), and 073 (international paper code) in Unimark handbook do not exist in serials worksheet of national document organization and national library of Iran, and should be added to it. Additionally, findings showed that several fields have been changed in title, definition, application, and subsidiary fields, while there are several other fields with wrong translation which must be corrected. Finally, a worksheet is suggested whose 102 fields consist of 14 serials specific fields, 5 mandatory Unimark fields, and 83 general fields. Originality/Value: Journals are among the most important information resources essential for researchers and visitors of libraries and information centers, and librarians make effort for their selection and preparation, and providing appropriate services by them. Information value of journals is due to the point that typically the latest news and results of scientific studies are reflected in these resources. Hence, it is necessary to properly organize such resources in a coordinated way and pay sufficient attention to their distribution and accessibility similar to printed monographs.
